I've been trying to try different OS's from the wiki using sdcard.

Some work, some don't.
I assume a lot of the ones that don't work I need to install tow-boot.

My issue is...

I have the tow-boot spi on an sdcard.

I push in the re button and then the power button. (I have tried plugging in power via usb as well).
But, nothing happens. It never boots to the spi install screen.

Is there something I am doing wrong in this regard?

Also, if I ever do get tow-boot installed, how do I revert to a stock U-boot? I have not seen instructions for doing so with the reading I have done yet.

Any help is appreciated. I am just tired of iOS and android and tired of throwing away phones. I am hoping pine64 and its open nature can satiate my basic needs.
